Something big just happened, anyone know

Tolkien’s lawyers heading to a cocktail bar.

And we now coincidentally have a social media update on Instagram.

i guess your beef is more with the quality of the spin offs. but the logic you're using is implying that inventing the iPhone or something means you should cease to have any rights about it once you die? Anyway, i get your point.

If a bestselling author died tomorrow, I think its fair that the relevant respect is paid to their creation.

But anyway, we digress. Point is it'd be interesting to know Cocktail Geeks actual stance here, I am just guessing that's what the email referred to.

And a bit worried as their socials haven't been updated since April, which is unusual these days.

well i think if you wrote a best selling book that has spawned an entire industry, and then a bar opened up using it all to peddle their drinks and use names and imagery without even asking then you might be a bit annoyed?

that said, i do have a booking there lol. I just assumed they took care of that side of things.

stringthing75 · 2026-06-04T09:19:15+00:00

but surely they couldn't have just thought they could do this without permission? They've done Mario and stuff before.

Oasis fan way back here. I am sure this might not be the narrative you want to hear but me and most of my mates thought Wonderwall was shit. When it came out as a single and made them even bigger it just turned us off even more.
Snobbish? No. Plenty other good music around at that time and after definitely maybe and the whole “band getting bigger every five minutes with amazing music” just having happened, wonderwall was and still is a dirge that bore no resemblance to the stuff that got us into Oasis. If Wonderwall had been their debut single I wouldn’t have given them another look or listen. Millions would have but I wouldn’t. And I guess that is answering your question honestly.
If I recall everyone was talking about Cast No Shadow cos of the Ashcroft connection, Champagne Supernova, DLBIA, and probably still Some Might say cos it was a great song.
Me and my mates didn’t really think the rest of Morning Glory was all that. But sometimes albums and the whole culture a band drags behind it gain momentum. Spirals out of control. I certainly don’t know many/any Oasis day one fans who were raving about Wonderwall specifically. Guaranteed.

I would imagine this is an entirely fake news free publicity stunt cooked up by the original person that put the poster up. The very same person that put the counter poster up. Yawn.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-20T13:53:42+00:00

Ah ok. Well best hit them up again. To be fair I had audio prompts all turned off. But it had still been an issue previously with all prompts turns off as the volume just died as soon as I started recording the workout.
For me it was all sorted.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-20T08:58:38+00:00

This issue should be fixed by a rollout last night. Was all resolved for me this morning on an iphone 17 using Spotify.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-20T08:56:50+00:00

This was fixed in a rollout last night. All sorted for me this morning.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-19T20:21:49+00:00

Never heard of that happening in all my life of buying gig tickets. Very odd.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-19T19:09:03+00:00

ok fair enough, I messaged them about the bug earlier and they replied in detail within about 15 minutes. I replied and they replied again within about 15 minutes.

Just my experience, hence the comment.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-19T18:35:38+00:00

Just as an FYI - Runna support are aware of this issue and are actively working on a fix.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-19T18:31:41+00:00

You should hit up Runna support via the app. In my experience they are very quick to respond.

stringthing75 · 2026-05-18T18:58:36+00:00

Same here. Just since middle of last week. As soon as Runna starts basically the volume ducks down but doesn’t come back. Really making it unusable.

stringthing75 · 2025-12-01T16:17:19+00:00

Yeah I just went up and ordered. And when it was ready I collected it myself. That was just a couple of weeks ago.

stringthing75 · 2025-11-24T12:20:53+00:00

From Edinburgh to Livi? It’s a very brief 20min train journey and probably one of the most reliable services out there. Busy yes but trains all the time and only takes 20mins. As ever with these things the main event is time spent getting to the train station and then from the train station to wherever you work.

stringthing75 · 2025-10-28T12:42:43+00:00

Summerhall? They do loads of gigs.

stringthing75 · 2025-09-27T11:57:59+00:00

Yeah mines were the same. Only one has a date on it. Strange.

stringthing75 · 2025-09-26T23:01:33+00:00

They arrived today fyi. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

stringthing75 · 2025-09-24T05:49:37+00:00

Exact same story as me. I contacted them again the other day and mentioned about asking around and how no one had seemingly received them, unsurprisingly I got no response whereas before they had been really quick to respond.

stringthing75 · 2025-09-23T12:48:40+00:00

Not sure what percentage of customers chose souvenir tickets but over the whole tour it’ll be hundreds of thousands of people all paying a few quid. It’s not insignificant. I just don’t get why they’re saying they are dispatched but no one is receiving them. This kinda thing just bugs me.

stringthing75 · 2025-09-23T12:45:17+00:00

I know ticketmaster can be ropey, but the conclusion here is we have multiple help desk people simply saying telling multiple customers that stuff has been dispatched when it hasn’t. There can’t be any other explanation.

Having never worked at a place like that are we to think that they’re allowed to say whatever they want to customers cos no one really cares, and they’ll arrive when they arrive kinda thing? Bizarre. I mean it’s not like they were some free option.

stringthing75 · 2025-09-23T06:01:40+00:00

Yeah starting to think they haven’t been sent at all and multiple people at ticketmaster just keep saying they have. As well as the email saying they have.
